r/irving

Many here have been fooled and sent this couple money. This couple (posting separately as "single mother" and "single dad") are known scammers named Estella and Daniel, based in the Irving area of DFW. They have been doing this on and off for over a year. They do not currently have custody of the children. The MO is to get people to send them money for her and Daniel to actually live off of and purchase frivolities. If you have had contact with them, please feel free to PM me and I can provide you contact to report (many of you have already, thank you).

\"But why post (convicted felon)? What are the authorities going to do? Y'all willfully gave money up..\" - Daniel R commenting with one of his may burner accounts on this post

Daniel R - Keyboard beggars powered by Starbucks

Estella C - not the meek \"single mom\" you expected

Here's where some of your donated funds just went - posted by Daniel on 10/11/2026 in PM (Daniel collects action figures):

This retails for $70...yet \"no money to feed kids, homeless, etc\"

UPDATE: Both Estella and Daniel have deleted their spam accounts tied to these post since I posted this, but they will be back. Daniel has made at least 15 accounts in the last 2 months alone. Daniel even posted on this post with a 1 month old account suggesting this post calling them out is AI (see in comments iambatman)...they underestimate the communities who monitor their illicit activity.

I encourage you to share on FB and NextDoor as they target both of these platforms as well, and often those communities are even more vulnerable to scams.

These two think posting with "single mom" and "single dad" is their ticket to other people's money, your money. With your help, their "luck" is about to run out, and unsuspecting people's scarce resources can be spared from being squandered to their lies .

The community is coming together to make this part of the permanent name searchable public record - feel free to spread and share:

Hey everyone! I’m female in mid 20s recently moved to Dallas, and looking to meet new people and make platonic friends here. I’d like to connect with anyone who’s into exploring cool places around town, trying new food spots, going on small trips, or attending tech events.

I’m interested in meeting people from South Indian / Indian desi groups, but I’m really open to anyone who wants to hang out, grab coffee, go for walks, visit parks, or explore the city together.

And, if enough of people are feeling the same way, we could even start a little community and organise meet ups. If you’re in the same boat, feel free to dm.

I bought a used Nissan almost 4 months ago from Gulliver Auto in Plano.

The car is decent but I still do not have a registration sticker almost 4 months since sale.

The car came with a license plate that has a 07/2027 expiration date but there is no sticker yet.

I checked txt dps where is my sticker tool and there it shows no details/transaction.

Gulliver has been pushing me around for last two months without clarity on the sticker. What can I do?

Also is my car illegal right now.

City budget PDFs are public, but they are hundreds of pages of tables, staffing notes, and comparison columns. Most people never open them. I wanted something a resident could actually use: pick a city, ask a normal question, and get an answer grounded in that city’s adopted budget — with page citations.

**What it does ?**

CivicLens AI is a RAG app over official municipal budget books. You pick a city, ask something like “How much is police funded this year?” or “What changed in parks staffing?”, and it answers from that city’s book only. Figures from Irving never leak into a Frisco answer.

Right now it covers Irving, TX and Frisco, TX for FY 2025-26.

**How it works ?**

Offline pipeline: pdfplumber extracts page text, a token sliding window (512 / 64 overlap) chunks it, Gemini embeds the chunks, Qdrant stores them.

At query time: hybrid retrieval — vector search plus BM25 — both filtered by the selected city.

The LLM answers only from retrieved context. If the book doesn’t have it, it says so instead of guessing.

Frontend is Next.js; API is FastAPI. Deployed on Vercel + Render + Qdrant Cloud.

The prompt work was the unglamorous part. Budget tables have comparison years, OCR-split numbers, merged job titles (“5Logistics”), and decimals like 109.0 that models love to turn into 1,090. A lot of the system prompt is “copy the figure, don’t invent a total, cite the page.”

**What I learned ?**

Municipal PDFs are hostile RAG data. Dot leaders, layout-broken numbers, and one table with five fiscal-year columns will wreck a naive chunk-and-embed pipeline. City-scoped retrieval mattered more than a fancier model. Hybrid search helped when the answer was one sentence buried in a mixed-topic page.

**Limitations ?**

It’s two cities and one fiscal year. Answers are only as good as extraction + retrieval. Changing chunk size means re-embedding the whole corpus. The API is public, so it’s rate-limited.
